Very Nice

I bought two of these for my home network. I have a subnetwork for my kids that is broadcast and a main for me that is not. Only complaint is the limitation of 10 mac addresses for filtering. This day and age should be at least 20 or more.
Either way great product, easy to set up for a techy, if you are computer challenged do not buy, not plug and play.
For all word of advice, if you buy do a firmware upgrade before configuring. The bugs in old firmware carry over if you run a backup and then install wiht the new firmware.

Great for gamers

Pros: I had an Netgear 3700 and I had problems lagging when my kids were on you tube or netflix event though it supported QoS. I upgraded to the DGL-5500 and that all went away. I have a much better wireless connection from mobile devices as well as much less lag due to stream boost. I have had the DGL-4300 in the past and loved it.
Cons: This router comes with v 1.1 firmware. The DLINK FW is up to 1.12. You are tempted to upgrade but unless you are very knowledgeable about how to recover from a bad firmware upgrade you may not want to do this. Also missing DDLNA, USB storage cant be recognized without special driver so the USB storage is kind of useless, and no useful LED's. I bought this router to solve my lag issue so these cons were not a deal killer for me.

Excellent Router

This router has made easy to monitor and share the bandwidth. QoS or port forwarding on my old router did not really work for me well and this router does it automatically by smart priority system.
Overall wireless works fine and increased the wireless coverage. Running for a week now with no resets or disconnects.

Love it

Very good router. Streamboost is easy to manage and all connected devices (18) get 70mbps download speed. The router never drops connection. I will never regret buying it.
